Datastore API SDKs

The Datastore API lets you effortlessly sync all of your app's structured data such as contacts, to-do items, and game state. It enables your app to sync data quickly, manage conflicting changes, and even work offline.

Before building an app using the Datastore API, you'll need to create an app on the App Console.

Creating a URL scheme

The SDK coordinates with the Dropbox app (if it's installed) to simplify the auth process. But in order to smoothly hand the user back to your app, you need to add a unique URL scheme that Dropbox can call. You'll need to configure your project to add one:

Click on your project in the Project Navigator, choose the Info tab, expand the URL Types section at the bottom, and finally, press the + button.

In the URL Schemes enter db-APP_KEY (replacing APP_KEY with the key generated when you created your app).
